Jan 7, 2012Hi! Posted more work, like My Inspiration and The Monster Within Us, hope you like! Trying to write a poem or something everyday, but I dont wanna clutter up my portfolio with them! Love all of you!

Hello, my name is SHANNON or Rhia, whichever you prefer. I am a singer and I play piano and my whole life I have been surrounded by music. I began writing about last year (near when I first joined Booksie) and I have been taken over by the power of it! I truly love poetry, so thats what I mostly read on here. For one, its shorter. Two, it can make its reader feel just as much emotion as a 20 chapter novel can, if its good enough!

Since much writing here on Booksie is quite depressing or sad (not that, that is a bad thing) I try to write more uplifting poems about simpler things. Things you dont tend to think about when you are wrapped up in the struggles or distractions of the world, so I have been told. Just take a moment, even when life is at its worst, and focus on the tiniest thing. Like a flower for instance. Even the most delicate things can survive in a cruel world...so can you.

I appreciate it very much when a reader chooses to see my work..I appreciate that you are even reading this! I do have a note to add: PLEASE DO NOT FAN IF YOU HAVE NOT EVEN READ MY WORK. It is very rude. Thankyou!
